In all the years I have focused on these great cars can certainly understand ones desire to make them as original as possible.Guilty! For me it was all about the function,form a very close second with outward appearance,interior,wheels,exhaust,etc etc like so many have here.Also 427 Cobra body style with big block,which is where it ended.Like so many cars it is a kit bottom line and We own it.To the uneducated it is a real Cobra until the inevitable question is it a real one.
Authentic? we keep seeing, that's an individual measure all by itself.Been a gearhead all my life and bodyoff restored several muscle cars,dozens of Harley Davidson motorcycles,finishing a total resto of the sixth antique 2 cylinder tractor,soon to start a V8 motorcycle,will say it is all about the finished product.Authentic credentials when it comes to kits has to do with what a person perceives the authenticity of their cars to be.
